It’s hard to divert your attention when those who actively hate you are in positions of power, either in state institutions, jobs, familial relationships, or even interpersonal peer relationships. Never mind the threats to your safety and harassments. This is an incredibly privileged mindset to have- and is not something you can just turn off your attention to. Classic stoic rhetoric doesn’t account for human emotions and sensitivity.
This isn’t a privileged mindset to have. It’s the correct mindset to have. I’m a minority group as well (mixed with 4 races) I receive discrimination as well on a regular basis. However, the large majority of individuals look at me the exact same way as those in my demographic. If you make your differences your entire personality then you just continue to separate yourself when you should be attempting to use yourself as an example for why people SHOULD support you. Be a leader.
Why? Why should I? This is my society, my world. The western world is dying in population, and we are losing to other countries. The current western ideas are utterly incompatible with the reality of life and we already see that with birth rates. This is Evolution’s way of destroying ideas that do not lead to higher populations.
